3. How to reach the City centre

Transportation from and to the airport Leonardo da Vinci – Fiumicino
By train

The Leonardo Express is the direct train that serves the route between the airport and the centre of the city of Rome every 30 minutes.

- Trains from Termini depart from the track 24 on the right. Ticket costs euro 14, available at the counter as well as the Termini news stand. Tickets sold at the departure platform are more expensive. Get your ticket stamped in a yellow validation machine just before using it. Ticket expires 90 minutes after validation. The ultramodern train Leonardo Express, covers the distance in 30 minutes.

There is also the possibility to use the older technology city’s metropolitan train that has a correspondence with the Metro. The metropolitan train FM1 links the airport of Rome with the regions Roma Tiburtina, Fara Sabina, Poggio Mirteto and Orte.

The Metropolitan train leaves from the track on the left but does not stop at Termini. Get off at Tiburtina Station or at Ostiense Station to connect to the Rome Metro. Tickets: euro 5.50, plus euro 1.50 for a metro ticket. The extra cost of the Leonard Express is for the convenience of a direct ride to Termini. If you are going somewhere else on the Metro, Tiburtina and Ostiense are as convenient. Get your ticket stamped in a yellow validation machine just before using it.

By taxi cab
The distinctive white taxi cabs await outside the passenger stations, in order to serve the passengers.
Taxis in Rome are white. From October 1st 2006 there are fix fares from downtown to airports. City center to Fiumicino and vice-versa cost 48,00 euros. For others destinations fares are not fixed. You don’t have to negotiate the price. Regular taxis have a taximeter. Fee for luggage is around 1 euro each. Be aware that Fiumicino is outside of city limits, this implies that the fare for first part is higher (a number 2 appears on the meter). The driver is supposed to change the fare to number 1 once he hits the ring highway (G.R.A.) and enters the city limits.

By Terravision Shuttle Bus

The bus line Terravision Shuttle Bus serves the route between the airport and the central station of Rome, Termini.Tickets: euro 9 single or euro 15 return, 70 minutes, 5 stops, 7 services a day.

By blue regular-size buses

The bus stop is located outdoors at ground level ~100 meters left from arrivals (teminals B&C). You can buy tickets at all tobacco shops – they have blue signs (Tabaccheria).

Transportation from and to the airport Ciampino

By Atral bus (run by Cotral and Schiaffini)

To Termini Station – buses depart Ciampino airport between 05.30 and 22.50. Tickets cost €3.90 one-way and €6.90 return. You can buy these directly on board the bus, online, in the airport hall of arrivals, or other authorised selling points. To Anagnina Station – buses depart Ciampino airport between 06.10 and 22.40 every 40 minutes. Tickets cost €1.20 one-way, so it is the least expensive option, but if you have luggage you have to pay €1.20 on top of this. You can buy tickets on board the bus, at t the information box in the airport hall of arrivals, online, or other authorised selling points.

By Terravision Shuttle Bus

This bus takes you from Ciampino airport directly to Termini station. You can buy tickets online or at the airport for €4 one-way. This service operates between 08.15 and 00.15 and departures conveniently coincide with flight arrivals.

By SIT bus

This offers a very similar service to Terravision and there is not much to distinguish between the two. You can buy tickets online or on board the bus for €4 one-way. Buses depart the airport between 07.45 and 23.15.

By taxi cab

When you leave the arrivals hall, you will be inundated by taxi drivers competing for your business. Look for the official white taxis clearly marked with the Comune di Roma name and symbol on the do or and the licence number. Avoid white, unmarked Multipla cars – they are not official drivers, and not particularly reliable.

Taxi transport to the city centre has been set at a fixed rate of min 30 euros. This fee includes four passengers and all bags so if there are four or fewer of you, don’t accept taxi drivers trying to negotiate prices.
